   WASHINGTON (TNND) — What will come next now that the Epstein files bill   
   has been signed into law by President Donald Trump?   
      
   Former U.S. Attorney John P. Fishwick Jr. said the public will be   
   "disappointed" in what the Department of Justice decides to release of   
   the files.   
      
   There's not going to be a huge unveiling of all the Epstein files."   
   Fishwick told The National News Desk. The recent Epstein files saga all   
   began with a discharge petition led by members of Congress. This   
   eventually led to the bill swiftly moving through the House and the   
   Senate and being signed into law by Trump.   
      
   Despite the bill stating the files must be released by Trump within 30   
   days, Fishwick expects only some files to be released.   
      
   I don't think that at the end of this 30-day period, we're going to get   
   them all. I expect we'll get some of them. But I think a lot of it will   
   not be produced," Fishwick said.   
      
   Attorney General Pam Bondi told reporters on Wednesday she would comply   
   with the law when it comes to the release.   
      
   The reason some documents may be withheld is that the bill Trump signed   
   into law allows the DOJ to hold on to any information that would get in   
   the way of any investigations or prosecutions.   
      
   But I do think the ongoing investigations will be something that will   
   put a hold on these document release. I think that's unfortunate. I   
   think the public's ready to see all this information," Fishwick said.   
   Redactions can also be made to the documents to protect the identities   
   of victims.   
      
   The potential release of the files comes through Congress. But why   
   didn't the DOJ take action in the first place?   
      
   Fishwick said that is because the DOJ was at a "dead end" with the files   
   when it comes to a criminal investigation.   
      
   "They did not see any criminal conduct that was worth investigating and   
   moving forward. They basically said they were at a dead end. But the   
   House Oversight Committee has aggressively kind of pursued this. I hope   
   they will continue to pursue it and release it," Fishwick said.
